[CQ-Contest] Xtreme category, catch 22

[4O3A Ranko]

If fun for majority should be keeping old fashion way, then old categories
are unchanged and will be more popular. .

New Extreme is logical step forward in 21th century. I guess, it will not be
a lot of participants, but it giving nice opportunity for improvements and
legality.
I am only strongly disagreed with this part in rules:

*Remote receiving sites may be located anywhere........*

With this rule, nice idea of widening area for improvements and technology
will be bury with no sense remote receiving. All real technology
improvements can't fight with just a simple remote receiver close to
correspondence site. Really, it looks like a mistake of rules creator and
has to be reconsidering. It is not improvement at all. It looks much more
like contesting holocaust...hahaha
